Donald Trump screws up and makes huge Trump-Russia confession on White House lawn
Donald Trump was clearly already planning to head to the Rose Garden and speak directly to the media about congressional investigations when Nancy Pelosi set him on fire this morning with the word “coverup.” That’s when he snapped and unwittingly turned his own press conference into a mentally unstable case for his own removal from office. The whole thing was so over the top, most people missed the fact that Trump just made a major confession in the Trump-Russia scandal.
For quite some time now it’s been widely reported that Donald Trump Jr had a mystery phone call with a blocked number, in the same timeframe as his Trump Tower meeting with Russian government representatives during the 2016 election. It’s long been suspected that Trump Jr called his father about the meeting. Team Trump recently disputed this, claiming that Trump Jr instead made two phone calls, one to the head of NASCAR, and the other to a business associate. But today, Donald Trump blew that up entirely.
During his rant today, Donald Trump spelled out the two phone calls that we know about. But then he said this: “So the three calls that were so horrible, that he had a meeting and he called me, and then he had the meeting after, and he made two more calls, and they were written about like this little lines, couple of lines, nobody wanted to admit it.” Oops.
Trump appears to have been trying to make the case that after the two Donald Trump Jr phone calls were revealed to have been harmless, the media didn’t make a big enough deal about it. But in the process, he clearly acknowledged that there was a third phone call, and that it was to him. Trump just confessed that he and his son did speak on the phone in the exact same timeframe as the Trump Tower meeting with the Russians. This is huge, and we expect the larger news outlets to pick up on it eventually. You can watch the video here.
